HQ - King - Love & Pride - Top of the Pops 1985

[DrMarianus]

Paul King is a natural front man for a band. He looks like he's having a lot of fun. And of course, a great song and excellent backup.

[Isochest]

Saw these at Hudds Poly: Great:-)))))

[havstormer]

Great song, but pity he was so bad at miming. Same on the vid, his lips never moved in synch.

[royalanglian]

a Quality tune !

[JohnCandyPromotions]

lay off the bleach m8!!!

[strummerocks]

King were so much better than Queen, but not as good as Prince. Princess was pretty crap.

[Feisty1967]

King were a great band!! So much underrated. I once drew a picture of Paul King from King and my brother very much admired it.

[absongs]

i've loved this song so much :-)

[andziazet]

Shiz! Who the funk was the No.1?

Quality!!!

Elaine Paige And Barbara Dickson - I Know Him So Well

[PuddleDolphin12345]

love Paul King.. very cute in this and the song is so catchy! ;D

[Fromthemanor00]

The dog's bollocks

[Zingo33]

New Wave took a last breath before dying with this song in 1985. It's a classic.

[stillinmotionuk]

the video response by me is of my band who has been mentored by King Keyboard player Mick Roberts, Check them out!

[eddietheturdburglar]

N# 2 FEB 85 KEPT OFF TOP SPOT BY Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson.DONT YOU JUST LOVE THE 80`S

[SeventiesMania]

@eddietheturdburglar Did the Music Police not investigate this heinous crime? Or possibly Elaine Paige's 1985 hairstyle was too difficult to get past.

[LlewelynLaVista666]

I want a 4-poster-bedroom like that!

[MegaDave1973]

Classic song love and pride good times

[steviej815]

I don't suppose you have any more videos of King? I seem to remember a song called "The Fridge" that was brilliant. Not sure it was a hit, though?

[westendboy84]

@steviej815 Kissed the Spikey Fridge - from their classic Steps in Time album.

[steviej815]

@westendboy84 Thanks for reminding me, it was the 80's and the old memory is starting to fade. It all seems like a lifetime ago. 30 yrs ago in fact. I don't suppose you have the album Steps in Time that you could upload just the audio "Kissed the Spikey Fridge" You can always just make up a powerpoint presentation of photos of the band as a visual?

[westendboy84]

@steviej815 i did have the LP once, the album is being re-released this summer (on CD for the first time - i think..?) - will buy it for sure....

[nickonline1]

That;s worth my heart.. "Jeugdjournaal" !?

(Dutch)

[dirty06maggot]

awesome song!

[jaycad73]

[TheGodParticle]

Flash in the pan with this band only two top tens in two years and then gone...i think paul works for mtv and their shit....

[TheGodParticle]

@ColumRogers No i meant MTV is shit. this is Top of the pops, best thing ever to come out of the bbc.

[ColumRogers]

@TheGodParticle

I am so sorry. Thank you for explaining it.

[glk600]

He is isnt he anyway your user name is a tongue twister mate take care

[RanchoRelaxoArg]

Great bass line.-

[Eoinposse]

One of the best songs of the 80s.

[glk600]

[davedigsgraves]

[liparus07]

Excellent !

[Eoinposse]

They were so good.

[gillo69]

Paul, where is your Mic???,

Who are you trying to fool?? ;)

WHAT A SONG THO!, CLASSIC!!!!!!!

[KoMaVids]

one of the best 80's songs forever, still lovin' it!

And: FANTASTIC bassline!!!

[anthonynewsome]

he was cocky git, but I liked him for that, he just didnt care, wonder what he up to these days

[83Brokenwings]

I never fancied King, not at all but a lot of girls i knew did, my cousin thought he was sexy as hell! I love this song though! It sure beats the shit around today!

[weecam11]

I love the energy of this !

[maciekmadmax]

Paul King was MTV vj on the 90's..

[keepyuppies]

Thats bono isnt it?!!!

U2 didnt officially record anything at all that year.

I knew he was up to something!!!! And that something was good!

Must have been on stilts tho. .

Love and pride

(In the name of love)

[Blabloo72]

Great song but those hairsyles! OMG! Whether 80s or not how could anyone think that looked great?!!!! Good advice people: NEVER be a slave to 'fashion'! - it'll only come back to haunt you! Thanks to 80smusicdude for posting!

[fourthwind1]

very catchy!!!!

[hailesj]

rubbishly crappy song... great bassline though

[mariamelody44]

superrrrrrrrrrrr

[delacyfans]

The first single I ever bought! feel really old now!

[rickmansgal]

Lol, same here :)

[SpocksSister08]

[debbieweir69]

This brings back so many memories for me of dancing round my handbag!!

[MarcusBowen]

This actually sold 600,000 copies!!.

[25mmm25]

he is yummy....:P

[therealLucianWolf]

miming is sooo shit. i hate top of the pops for making people mime.. bloody idiot producers... if miming was banned from the show, it would really show up alot of shit acts

[xDiamondDoll702x]

its called lip syncing. lol you said miming. i guess its the same thing. @therealLucianWolf. *sighs* I love english people

[furseal2004]

It should be a crime to be this good-looking.

[MickeyLove01]

you mean the guy with the horse face?

[furseal2004]

He happens to be a very good-looking horse!

[sandrasrgc]

I lived in Scotland for a brief 6 mths and this song was in the charts at that time-have the LP (my kids question what it is now LOL). thanks for the memories!

[mooiboywc]

King ar gay , this a good number

[Isochest]

It was underrated cos like lots of the other 80s stuff it couldn't be pigeonholed. Look at the X factor: Lots of the contestants are good in their own right & can write their own music not sing cover versions. Corporate greed killed off 80's origiality but it can return with the net.

[UKSazzy67]

I SO agree, corporate greed and people like Simon Cowell killed off all originality until all music has become homogenised and sanitised as it is today.

[Isochest]

Perhaps more "Satanised" when you're talking about Corporate Pop Svengalis? :-)))

[UKSazzy67]

One of the BEST bands of the 80s, so much underrated like a lot of 80s stuff,this is pure class in a glass. And Paul King was so gorgeous in those days, our era gets ignored so much it smacks of ignorance.

[dogsofwar007]

@UKSazzy67 i remember this when i was a lad,, the Uk scene was very vibrant in the 80s with what you'd call 'Brit Pop'

[bobba77]

nice pants.............

[3llerTUBE]

Kewlness

[Ladytron]

Dances a bit like michael jackson

[JordanFuckinLee]

Mmm theyre so good

[bjaws]

crinch.... :)

[sophiaf]

I kissed my husband for the first time on this number! We are married now for 19,5 years! King brought us good luck.

[dallaston]

'take your hairdryer and blow them all away...' I fancied this man. I thought I had good taste in music. scary.... can't stop singing it tho!

[minouche14]

Loved this song. I was only 15 at the time and spent my school days singing this with my mates all day long.

[Habibasse]

Another underated band ?

For sure !

Coz it was another one of the bests !!!

[apemaia1969]

com'erano belle le canzoni una volta...

[CADAVERHUSK]

always gets me humming away when i hear this
